Whenever client is able to receive some data from stream
daemonStreamHandleRead is called. But now the behaviour of this
function needs to be changed a bit. Previously it just read data
from underlying file (of chardev or whatever) and sent those
through the stream to client. This model will not work any longer
because it does not differentiate whether underlying file is in
data or hole section. Therefore, at the beginning of this
function add code that checks this situation and acts
accordingly.
So after the this, when wanting to send some data we always check
whether we are not in a hole and if so, skip it an inform client
about its size.

Whenever server sends a client stream packet (either regular with
actual data or stream skip one) it is queued on @st->rx. So the
list is a mixture of both types of stream packets. So now that we
have all the helpers needed we can wire their processing up. But
since virNetClientStreamRecvPacket doesn't support
VIR_STREAM_RECV_STOP_AT_HOLE flag yet, let's turn all received
skips into zeroes repeating requested times.

Now that we have RPC wrappers over VIR_NET_STREAM_HOLE we can
start wiring them up. This commit wires up situation when a
client wants to send a hole to daemon.
To keep stream offsets synchronous, upon successful call on the
daemon skip the same hole in local part of the stream.

This is a function that handles an incoming STREAM_HOLE packet.
Even though it is not wired up yet, it will be soon. At the
beginning do couple of checks whether server plays nicely and
sent us a STREAM_HOLE packed only after we've enabled sparse
streams. Then decodes the message payload to see how big the hole
is and stores it in passed @length argument.

Basically, whenever the new type of stream packet arrives to the
daemon call this function that decodes it and calls
virStreamSendHole(). Otherwise a regular data stream packet has
arrived and therefore continue its processing.

Add a new argument to daemonCreateClientStream in order to allow for
future expansion to mark that a specific stream can be used to skip
data, such as the case with sparsely populated files. The new flag will
be the eventual decision point between client/server to decide whether
both ends can support and want to use sparse streams.
A new bool 'allowSkip' is added to both _virNetClientStream and
daemonClientStream in order to perform the tracking.

This is just an internal API, that calls corresponding function
in stream driver. This function will set @data = 1 if the
underlying file is in data section, or @data = 0 if it is in a
hole. At any rate, @length is set to number of bytes remaining in
the section the file currently is.

Add a new flag to virStreamRecvFlags in order to handle being able to
stop reading from the stream so that the consumer can generate a "hole"
in stream target. Generation of a hole replaces the need to receive and
handle a sequence of zero bytes for sparse stream targets.

This function is basically a counterpart for virStreamSendHole().
If one side of a stream called virStreamSendHole() the other
should call virStreamRecvHole() to get the size of the hole.

This API is used to tell the other side of the stream to skip
some bytes in the stream. This can be used to create a sparse
file on the receiving side of a stream.
It takes @length argument, which says how big the hole is. This
skipping is done from the current point of stream. Since our
streams are not rewindable like regular files, we don't need
@whence argument like seek(2) has.

One big downside of using the pipe to transfer the data is that
we can really transfer just bare data. No metadata can be carried
through unless some formatted messages are introduced. That would
be quite painful to achieve so let's use a message queue. It's
fairly easy to exchange info between threads now that iohelper is
no longer used.
The reason why we cannot use the FD for plain files directly is
that despite us setting noblock flag on the FD, any
read()/write() blocks regardless (which is a show stopper since
those parts of the code are run from the event loop) and poll()
reports such FD as always readable/writable - even though the
subsequent operation might block.
The pipe is still not gone though. It is used to signal the event
loop that an event occurred (e.g. data is available for reading
in the queue, or vice versa).

virt-install and virt-manager both default to explicitly setting
"io='native'" in the disk "driver" tag. virsh, however, does not and also
does not provide an option to specify that setting at all. As a result,
disks use a different IO mechanism (the default, "threads") when attached
post-setup using virsh. Adding this option allows users to keep disk
performance consistent for disks attached at install, and those attached
afterward.
Since we allow active layer block commit the users are allowed to commit
the top of the chain (e.g. vda) into the backing image. The API would
not accept that parameter, as it tried to look up the image in the
backing chain.
Add the ability to use the top level image target name explicitly as the
top image of the block commit operation.

Currently we consider all UNIX paths with specific prefix as generated
by libvirt, but that's a wrong assumption. Let's make the detection
